Creator's Key Takeaways
Most cruise lines, they discuss Costa as this laidback, sleepy, relaxing village.
We're there on an MSC seascape last November. And by my back of the envelope calc, we had 12 to 13,000 passengers getting off the three ships that day into Costa.
If you just stay on the ship, you can do, you know, your pool's going to be a lot freer. You can get beverages a lot easier.
We do recommend the Mayan ruins right here in Costa Maya.
